Join BRACENET in our fight for cleaner oceans! Because we make your sustainable bracelet from the most dangerous kind of plastic waste: former fishing nets. We recover ghost nets from the deep and intercept old nets from fisheries to prevent them from ending up there in the first place. Will you help us? SAVE THE SEAS, WEAR A NET.

The size-adjustable BRACENET x SMÅLAND Bracenet was created in collaboration with the Swedish provinces of Småland and Öland. They invited our founding team, Madeleine and Benjamin, for a cultural vacation with sustainable experiences in southern Sweden. Their verdict: an amazing region with plenty to explore! In their blog, you’ll find many tips for your own journey.

During their trip, Benjamin and Madeleine also visited a local glass blowing factory, Lioba Maria Solga. Here, the beautiful glass beads for this Bracenet are handcrafted over a mandrel using a 1000 °C hot flame. The temperature and oxygen level of the flame influence the glass colour, which is why slight variations in size, shape, and colour are possible.
